Reading/Lang. Arts – Mrs. Fulton In Reading, we are continuing to work on character traits, actions, feelings, and motivations. Here are some questions to ask when you are reading with your child: 1.How would you describe this character? (personality traits rather than physical traits) 2.Why do you think the character did that? 3.Did the character’s traits and feelings have anything to do with what the character did? In Language Arts, we are working on verbs, including verb tenses, irregular verbs, and noun-verb agreement.
